I'm still sitting at 144. I still get up early everyday to go to the gym--although now instead of 5:13---it's 4:36---I cannot believe I even do it!

It's getting more challenging to maintain---not nearly as easy... but still much easier than pre-op.

I'm getting less body dysmorphic--and this is becoming my new normal. It's getting less expensive since I haven't had to completely replace my wardrob everytime I turn around.

Hope I can keep it up....

I'm down to around 144--cannot believe it. Even my size 8 pants are getting too big--whose body is this??? The sad part is I'm still so body dysmorphic--cannot see myself to save my life! It's easier in photos than in the mirror though...

Am doing super well with exercise! Go to the gym every work morning at 5:30---and am loving it!

I get scared it won't stay off--and I still struggle with grazing and food choices--though most of the time I do OK.

Thanks for keeping up with me :-)

I must get the award for the worst blogger on this site! OK---well I'm a bit over a year out now. I'm down 80 pounds!! It's not as much as most--but I was a lightweight to begin with and I'm very happy. I haven't weighed this little (147) since before I was pregnant with my first child--and she's 19 now. I don't know if I'm at goal or not. I can't really decide what my goal is. If I never lost another pound (but didn't gain any either) I would be very happy. In a perfect world I'd lose another 10-15 pounds. I'm wearing a size 8 pants (omygawd I cannot BELIEVE that!)--and some of those are two big. It blows my mind. 

I'm not always the perfect eater. I try to make good choices most of the time-- but I go to the gym EVERY work day. I get up at 5:13---and go to the gym, then shower and get dressed there. I love it! It makes me feel like the first thing I do every day is for myself. Even if the rest of the day is total crap--at least I did that!

I will try to get hubby to take some new pictures to put up of me. I still suffer badly from body dysmorphia---the only way I can even begin to see myself is in pictures.

I'll try to do better with updates...

I'm doing well. I don't seem to be feeling as bad after eating as often as I was. I think I am learning my body--but it's weird, it's like it's on a subconsious level. I think I've lost somewhere around 39 pounds, but it sure does bounce around a lot. I'm getting back in the swing of working out, but it sure is hard to carve out the time!! I try very hard to make it a priority--and I do enjoy it---mostly ;-)

Here I am trotting right along...

Weight loss has been very slow, but then again I am a lightweight, so I cannot expect to drop 50 lbs in a month--though I wish I could :-)

So far I have lost about 35 pounds. That includes what I lost before surgery on the liquid diet.

Seems like right now I am averaging somewhere around 2 pounds a week. Seems pretty piddly--but at least it's been pretty consistent so far.

Today I went and worked out after work. It's the first time since surgery that I've done it. I did the eliptical machine for 30 minutes, then some of the weight machines. I felt good about it. I did yoga one night last week, and plan to go again tomorrow. I love it. It feels like dessert.

I spoke to my surgeons office today. They are pleased with my weight loss. Told me I will deal with the emotional issues and extra skin issues better for it being slow. I guess that makes sense.

Occasionally having some issues with grazing. I've been grazing on healthy stuff---but still the behavior makes me uncomfortable. I know I only have a limited amount of time to get behavioral stuff under control.

Still not getting enough water in.

I have no idea why I cannot get my flippin' picture to show up on here!

I'm struggling to get the water in...why is it sooooo hard. Seems like it would be easy. The scale is moving so slowly, jeez I'm impatient!

No one is noticing any weight loss yet. I'm noticing it in my pants, but that's really it. DH says he notices it in my face, but I think he's just trying to make me feel good. I'm having company this weekend. My aunt and uncle are coming in. I told them about my surgery, so they would know why I was eating such small amounts, but I'm still a bit worried that they'll freak when they see how small the portions are.

It's 3.5 weeks since surgery. I'm supposed to be transitioning from purees to regular foods. I have pushed that envelope quite a bit the last couple of days. I've just discovered that eating carbs is making me feel *wiped out* afterwards. I found that out by posting about how I was feeling after I ate, and what I had eaten. Fortunately---my friends here at OH were able to spot what I couldn't. So today is my first day of making a concerted effort to change my ways.

The scale is moving up and down. I've decided to weigh first thing in the mroning, write down my weight, and then average it for the week---I think this will give me a better idea of what is going on with my body.

So far, I've been able to get into some pants that I haven't been able to wear in a while. Some of my biggest pants still fit me, but are baggy--and my suits are just too big :-) What a great feeling!

I'm down somewhere around 23 pounds. Hope it continues at this pace...
